Shattering Records, LSU Gymnastics Team Makes Historic Mark on Home Turf

LSU Gymnastics fans erupted in celebration as the Tigers secured a monumental victory against rival team Arkansas, etching their names in program history with an unparalleled performance. After the narrow loss of the previous game, this victory over Arkansas was more than just an achievement.

Led by Head Coach Jay Clark, the team at LSU Gymnastics roared back. Notably, the LSU Tigers have established themselves as formidable contenders in the highly competitive Southeastern Conference (SEC) and on the national stage. To celebrate this moment, LSU gymnastics took to their social media handle and posted a glimpse of this record-breaking moment.

The LSU Tigers, ranked No. 5, showcased their dominance in gymnastics

Securing their highest program score in a stellar performance at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the Tigers, ranked No. 5, showcased their dominance. Leaving a little room for suspense, they triumphed over the No. 7 Arkansas Razorbacks with a score of 198.475-196.200. On this LSU gymnastics posted “Talk about a Tigers Win” on their X handle. They even added, “No. 5 LSU took down No. 7 Arkansas and recorded the HIGHEST score in program history”.

The evening began with LSU demonstrating their prowess on the vault, tying a season high with an impressive 49.525. Led by Haleigh Bryant’s outstanding 9.975, which included a perfect 10 from one of the judges, the Tigers set a formidable tone from the start. Meanwhile, Arkansas encountered difficulties on the uneven bars, facing a series of subpar scores and a fall from Maddie Jones, ultimately yielding an event score of 48.175.

LSU’s momentum only intensified on the bars, as they surpassed their vault score with a remarkable 49.550. Sixth-year senior Savannah Schoenherr clinched her first victory as a Tiger with a stellar 9.95 performance, closely followed by LSU freshman Konnor McClain with a 9.925. However, the impressive performance was proof that the LSU Tigers’ previous loss could not impede them from achieving victories.
